DeAndre Carter set to join Browns on one-year dealWR DeAndre Carter (hamstring) is expected to sign a one-year contract with the Browns, per league sources. The 31-year-old, who turns 32 in April, played 13 games for the Bears in 2024, notching nine catches for 72 yards without a score on sparse offensive snaps. Carter also handled kickoff and punt returns before a hamstring injury sidelined him for the final four weeks. His special teams prowess will likely define his role in Cleveland.Carter’s move to Cleveland won’t ripple most fantasy pools—his nine grabs in 2024 scream roster filler, not starter. His return skills matter for real football, but offensive snaps will stay slim, keeping him off the radar outside return-yardage leagues. The hamstring’s healed, but at 32, he’s a depth piece—dynasty managers can skip him, and redraft players won’t notice. He’s a non-factor unless injuries gut the Browns’ WR room.

Braxton Berrios lands one-year deal with TexansThe Houston Texans are bringing in veteran wide receiver and returner Braxton Berrios on a one-year deal worth $2 million.Berrios doubles as a rotational receiver and a return specialist, though he is recovering from an October 2024 ACL injury. He likely will have limited to no fantasy value outside of injuries, but he provides further depth in Houston, which saw its WR room evaporate quickly in 2024.

Mecole Hardman Jr. agrees to deal with PackersThe Packers signed WR Mecole Hardman to a one-year contract.Hardman caught 14 passes over 12 games with the Chiefs last season. He'll add depth to the wide receiver room for Green Bay as well as potentially adding a role in the return game.

Tyler Lockett signs one-year deal with TitansFree agent WR Tyler Lockett is signing a one-year, $4 million deal with the Titans.The deal can be worth up to $6 million. Lockett had been connected to Pete Carroll and the Raiders, but he'll instead continue his career with the Titans and likely Cam Ward. His best years are likely behind him, but the Titans should have some targets open behind Calvin Ridley. He figures to be a WR3/WR4 as of now for fantasy managers.

Mike Williams returns to the Chargers on a one-year, incentive-laden deal worth up to $6 million, reuniting with Justin Herbert after brief stints with the Jets and Steelers. Turning 31 and two years removed from a torn ACL, Williams is a big-play specialist (15.5 career YPR) who could help stretch the field if he regains his form. However, with Williams coming off a 298-yard, 1-TD season across two teams, his fantasy relevance is minimal entering 2025. He's undraftable in most formats, but if he flashes a connection with Herbert early in the season, he could be a waiver-wire name to monitor in deeper leagues.
Cooper Kupp's homecoming to Seattle comes with more nostalgia than fantasy upside. The 32-year-old signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the Seahawks after being released by the Rams, who opted to pay Davante Adams rather than keep Kupp around. Injuries have derailed his career since 2022 - including an ankle issue that limited him to 12 games in 2024 - and he averaged just 2.5 catches and 36 yards per game over his final seven contests last season. While Kupp helps fill the veteran void in a post-DK Metcalf/Tyler Lockett Seahawks WR room, he's unlikely to thrive in Klint Kubiak's run-heavy offense led by Sam Darnold.
Deebo Samuel's 2024 season marked a steep decline, finishing outside the top-40 WRs despite Brandon Aiyuk's season-ending injury and minimal competition. With just one game over 22 receiving yards in his final seven appearances and Jauan Jennings overtaking him as the 49ers' top target, Samuel's role evaporated quickly. Now 29 and traded to Washington for a fifth-round pick, he's operating on a reworked one-year deal. His extensive injury history, declining efficiency, and potential screen pass-based usage in the Commanders' offense make him likely overvalued.
DK Metcalf joins the Steelers as their new No. 1 WR after finishing 2024 as the WR32 (WR33 per game) with 992 yards and a career-low 5 TDs in 15 games. However, before a knee injury in Week 7, Metcalf was off to a scorching start - ranking top-5 in targets, yards, and air yards. Now in Pittsburgh's run-heavy Arthur Smith offense, target share won't be an issue, but overall passing volume/efficiency may be. Even with Aaron Rodgers at QB, this offense will have a low pass rate. Metcalf's fantasy ceiling hinges on red-zone usage and big plays. The opportunity is there, but his 2025 value depends entirely on the Steelers' offensive competency with the 41-year-old QB under center.
Despite splitting time between the Raiders and Jets last season, Davante Adams still posted his fifth straight 1,000-yard campaign and finished as the WR14 (WR10 in points per game). He averaged over 2.0 yards per route run and ranked top-5 in both red-zone targets and targets share (27%), showing no signs of an age-related decline. Pairing with Matthew Stafford only boosts his outlook, especially under dome conditions in a highly competitive NFC West. Adams should feast as a reliable WR2, and his ceiling only rises if Puka Nacua misses time entering his third season.
Christian Kirk joins the Texans after being acquired for a seventh-round pick, stepping into a starting slot role with Tank Dell likely sidelined for much of 2025. While Kirk has shown flashes of high-end WR2 upside in the past, his 2024 campaign was underwhelming before a collarbone injury ended his season early. He finished as the WR58 in points per game and was largely an afterthought in the red zone, with just a 19% target share and 11.8 expected PPG (WR38). Kirk offers real-life value as a reliable slot target and vertical threat alongside Nico Collins, but he'll face pressure from third-round rookie Jaylin Noe. Kirk also hasn't proven durable down the stretch in recent years. Draft cautiously - he's a fine late-round pick for floor, but the ceiling is limited without the TDs.
Josh Reynolds inks one-year deal with JetsVeteran wide receiver Josh Reynolds is signing a one-year deal with the New York Jets for up to $5 million.In 2024, Reynolds played for the Denver Broncos, where the Jets' new general manager, Darren Mougey, was serving as an assistant GM. However, a gunshot wound led him to miss time and ultimately be waived in December 2024 before joining the Jacksonville Jaguars. With the Detroit Lions in 2023, Reynolds had 608 yards and five touchdowns. He now joins former Lions DC Aaron Glenn at MetLife and can be a depth option who can play on the outside with his 6-foot-3 frame, though he likely will have a limited fantasy impact.

Dyami Brown quietly broke out late last season with the Washington Commanders and parlayed that strong finish into a one-year, $10 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's a notable signing by the new Jacksonville regime - especially since GM James Gladstone mentioned he was high on Brown coming out of UNC, believing he offered more than just vertical speed. While all the buzz surrounds Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter, Brown could carve out a larger role than most expect. Hunter's potential two-way deployment (WR/DB) could open the door for Brown to function more prominently as the Jaguars' No. 2 wide receiver - particularly if injuries strike.
Stefon Diggs was productive in 2024 before tearing his ACL in Week 8, ranking as the WR10 overall and WR18 in points per game while operating out of the slot in Houston's offense. Even alongside a healthy Nico Collins, Diggs averaged 13+ points per game through the first five weeks. Now 31 and coming off a major injury, Diggs signed a three-year, $64 million deal with the Patriots - but it's essentially a one-year prove-it contract. He may not be ready for Week 1, and while he's the clear WR1 in New England, expectations should be tempered. If Diggs and Drake Maye click, there's upside here, but he still carries risk given the optics of his situation.
DeAndre Hopkins signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Ravens, but the 33-year-old veteran is more of a real-life depth addition than a fantasy asset at this stage. Coming off a WR48 finish (WR59 in points per game) with 639 yards and 6 TDs in 2024, Hopkins faded badly down the stretch - failing to top 40 yards in any of his final seven games with the Chiefs. He was at least targeted at a high rate (25% target rate per route run), but part of that stems from his low weekly snap share. In Baltimore, he joins a crowded WR room and will likely operate as a rotational possession option in a run-first offense. Unless injuries hit, Hopkins is unlikely to command enough volume to matter in most fantasy leagues.

Robert Woods signs one-year deal with SteelersThe Pittsburgh Steelers are signing veteran wide receiver Robert Woods to a one-year contract worth $2 million.Woods has spent the last two seasons with the Houston Texans, where he caught 60 passes and scored one receiving touchdown. Before that, he spent one season with the Tennessee Titans. While he is no longer in his prime after dealing with injuries (just over 25 yards per game over the last three seasons), he still averages over 10 yards per reception and provides a veteran presence in a receiver room and offense that has a lot of uncertainty.

George Pickens heads to Dallas with plenty of real-life upside, but fantasy managers should tread carefully based on the Steelers' hit rate of moving on from "polarizing" WRs before it's too late. While he flashed WR14 production during a six-game stretch with improved QB play in 2024, Pickens remains a volatile, big-play specialist who doesn't command high target volume. Pairing with Dak Prescott is an upgrade, but in a system where CeeDee Lamb dominates touches and Dallas just extended KaVontae Turpin, Pickens' role isn't guaranteed to be stable. His ADP will likely climb, making him a potential fade in 2025.
